"Isles Apart / Ynysoedd Ar Wahân" - Major show at the Ucheldre Centre, Holyhead, Anglesey

Isles Apart is a collection of personal, visual fascinations. The photographs were taken on just a few of the islands I’ve visited, from the Azores and the Canaries, to Malta & Greece, but also including our own beautiful Ynys Môn. I have always been fascinated by islands with their finite perimeters of coastline, and being surrounded by sea. The distances between these geographical wonders have highlighted huge variations of topography and human influence.  This is not a tourist guide to these islands, more of an artist’s awareness of the visual similarities between isles thousands of miles apart!

"Latest Works" - New exhibition for the Pensychnant Nature Conservation Centre, Conwy

A new exhibition of work has gone up in this fantastically located Gothic house (actually 16th Century to Victorian) at the top of the Sychnant Pass. It is the centre of the Pensychnant Nature Conservation Centre which "works with local naturalists to record and safeguard the wildlife and natural beauty of Wales". The Pensychnant Foundation is a registered charity and 30% of all picture sales go to the charity. Seven of Glyn's large format limited editions have been erected along with 10 of his smaller A3 images including some previously unseen works. For further information on the centre please contact the warden Julian Thompson on +44 (0) 1492 592595 or visit the website www.pensychnant.fsnet.co.uk

Glyn's talk for Adobe at NEC a great success!

On Sunday 26th February 2006, Glyn was  asked to give two talks for the international software giant - Adobe®,  at Focus on Imaging, the national trade show at the NEC in Birmingham. Glyn talked about his work and his latest exhibitions and then gave a demonstration about how he uses  PhotoShop® within his digital workflow. The 'open theatre' soon had a large crowd of about 80 people listening in for a whole hour to Glyn's rationale and tips on usage and he received a warm ovation after each session, followed by two really interesting question and answer sessions aftwerwards. There is a possibility of Glyn becoming involved with further talks for other digital imaging companies, watch this space!  (Picture Credit: Jonathan Briggs)

"Celtic Connections" - This solo photographic exhibition - the first professional photographer’s show to be held in the Oriel Ynys Môn Gallery on Anglesey,  juxtaposes dramatic images of Penwith in Cornwall with gentler images of Anglesey. The pictures show that these two ancient Celtic lands have as many similarities as differences, and that there are still places and times to experience a sense of wilderness or solitude and equally, moments to simply stand in awe.

2004 "Stunning Views", Dafydd Hardy Gallery, Caernarfon - This show comprises the work of two photographers, Glyn Davies BA(Hons) AOP and Dr Stewart Campbell from the Art Photo Wales.com on-line print library business based in Menai Bridge.

2004 "Lasting Impressions" - Penrhyn Castle, In loving memory of a great friend, Jan Barnes. This was an unusual photographic exhibition showing the work of three photographers.

At her funeral I promised that her work would not be forgotten and that she would once again have her beautiful images exhibited.
